#400 The Stubborn Genius of James Dyson

So it took me nine years to get to episode four hundred. That means over the last nine years I've read and reread four hundred biographies and autobiographies of history's greatest entrepreneurs. My number one recommendation has been for many years and still is to this day. James Dyson's first autobiography.

Called against the odds. I covered James Dyson's first autobiography on episode twenty five. Episode two hundred, episode three hundred. And on episode four hundred, what I've done is the lot spent the last two weeks Reading and re reading both his first autobiography

And his second autobiography. Dyson wrote his second autobiography about twenty years after his first. So I want to read two sections from his first autobiography and then I'll tell you how this episode would be different from the other Dyson episodes. First thing he says, I am led to the belief That for vision.
